Host was very friendly and helped us when needed. She also kept the campground in order after quiet hours. Our spot was great with sun and shade by the trees. Water was readily accessible and the lake was perfect. 100% we will be back!

Great hiking; fishing from shore was sparse. Beautifully treed. Great tent sites, clean toilets, friendly camp host. Be aware of the elevation if you have a heart condition.

Camp host, Jill, is sociable, and willingly offers information to questions. She keeps an eye out for guests and can reach out to emergency services if needed despite poor cell service; also does a diligent job of caring for camp facilities.

The lake is very nice. Many good hiking trails for all levels. The camp host is a hoot. When we were there the campground was nearly empty which was nice. Make sure you have plenty of mosquito repellent and/or a screen room.

This is definitely off the grid! Beautiful lake and surroundings. The camp has drinking water and it’s wonderful, however there is not any potable water for your RV. Jill the camp host is a delight and keeps the place super clean, even the vault toilets are above tolerable.
Bring bug spray, lots of mosquitoes, but that should be expected next to a lake.
